Bevan Cellars

The Calixtro Tench Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

Shay A
9.5

These Bevan wines have such a consistent and delicious profile…and this one was very Tench. When comparing to Bevan’s Tench and his EE, this is more along the lines of the regular Tench but amped up. There’s more grit/clay going on here at the finish.

Probably the most “floral” Tench I’ve had…dark violets and lavender, with espresso, and a mix of red, blue and black fruits. The palate is absolutely spellbinding with its rich, yet nimble profile. So much going on here. Enters with a wild blueberry, brambly blackberry note before turning quickly to dusted dark chocolate black cherries with sweet herbs and clay and even smoked meat. There’s a bit of graphite and high percentage dark cocoa tannic grip at the finish.

At 7yrs old, this is a Bevan wine that is just coming in to its own. With how powerful this is, I’d be in no rush to consume, although with how good it is now, you might as well!

I rarely see you rate a wine at 95 pts. This must be stellar, @Shay A.

@Ron R : I try (yet fail sometimes) to lean conservative in scoring…but this 2015 Tench cab was extremely good. Not only did it check off the “delicious” check marks, but it also checked off the Tench vineyard marks as well as the 2015 vintage hallmarks. An extremely well done bottle. Wish I had more!

Rodnick Farm Melon de Bourgogne 2018

Alder Yarrow
8.9

“It’s spring and the little goat-footed balloonMan whistles far and wee.” - ee cummings. Far and wee indeed, with crisp saline citrus brightness mellowing with age (this is 2018 vintage). This ain’t your mama’s Muscadet, but Melon de Bourgogne it is, indeed and quite ready to embrace your oysters if you care to share. But there’s also some luxurious lemon curd coming into play here that pleases the balloonMan. — 3 years ago

Finger Lakes Dry Riesling 2018

I’ve had EE Riesling before in the past, but didn’t appreciate it as much as I did now. Fragrant on the nose, with some fruit and some mineral. On the palate, a lovely mouth feel with very balanced acidity. Almost tastes Alsatian. Nicely done. — 4 years ago

9.3

This wine is exceptionally smooth and fruit forward with relatively high residual sugar. I don’t know if it’s as magical as the 2016, but I’ve also recently been spoiled by the Bevan Tench EE Oakville. $99. — 3 years ago

Domaine Tollot-Beaut

Chorey-les-Beaune Pinot Noir 2015

Thus afternoon's wine that I picked-up yesterday is the 2015 Domaine Tollot-Beaut Chorey-Les-Beaune Pinot Noir. What a beautiful wine to start the weekend off with.

I am totally loving the aromatics on this wine. There are beautiful notes of strawberry, cranberry, cherry, hibiscus, clove, mushroom, rose petal, light campfire smoke and forest floor.

On the palate there is tart cherry, cranberry, raspberry, clove, mint, spice, mushroom and an earthy forest floor.

This wine is medium to full bodied with a silky smooth mouthfeel and a mouth watering medium + acidity and medium to plus medium fine mouth coating tannins that move right into a long fresh red fruit finish. What I really love about this wine is it has a wonderful purity about it and is extremely well balanced. I hope everyone's weekend is a good one. Please stay healthy and safe and ee will get through this together. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷
